Here's this month's color combination:

And here's the project it inspired:

Create a card perfect for a fellow crafter with the craft-themed images and dies found in the Crafting With You Bundle. The Take Your Pick Tool is invaluable for projects like this that need die cuts with small pieces to be assembled, or for adding die cut pieces as embellishments for your projects with precision.
 

A paper trimmer element was die cut from Pebbled Path Cardstock with the die from the Crafting With You Dies. The sentiment, from the coordinating Crafting With You Photopolymer Stamp Set, was stamped on a strip of Basic White Cardstock using Pebbled Path Classic Stampin' Ink. The stamped strip was adhered to the paper trimmer die cut, and the blade die cut piece adhered to complete the trimmer cutting track. The scissor die was cut twice, once from Smoky Slate Cardstock and once from Basic Black Cardstock. The scissor handles were removed from the black die cuts and adhered over the top of the Smoky Slate pieces. The two shears were combined and the circle representing the connecting tension screw added to create the finished scissor element, which was adhered to the bottom left corner of the sentiment strip. The whole trimmer element was adhered to a Basic White Cardstock layer using Stampin' dimensionals.

The small heart and star double dies in the Crafting With You Dies were used to create die cut shapes from Lost Lagoon and Bubble Bath Cardstock. These were adhered randomly to the Basic White layer. Narrow strips of Bubble Bath Cardstock were added behind the Basic White layer at the top and bottom, and the finished panel adhered to a Lost Lagoon folded card base.

Here's this month's sketch:

And here's the project it inspired:

The Sending Love Bundle isn't just for Valentine's! The cute die-cut envelopes can be used all year round to send a message of love.
 

The floral patterned paper from the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper was cut (ensuring the pattern ran vertically) to make the first cardstock layer, and adhered to a Fresh Freesia folded card base. The sentiment, from the Sending Love Cling Stamp Set, was stamped on a Basic White Cardstock strip using Misty Moonlight Classic Stampin' Ink, and attached to the centre of the card using Stampin' dimensionals.

Using the die from the coordinating Sending Love Dies, two envelope elements were die cut from Bubble Bath Cardstock, and a third was cut from Fresh Freesia Cardstock. The envelopes were folded and assembled using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. The solid single heart image from the Sending Love set was stamped in Fresh Freesia on the front of one of the Bubble Bath envelopes. That envelope, plus the Fresh Freesia envelope, were both adhered above the sentiment strip using liquid glue.

The hollow hearts image (from the same stamp set) was stamped in Fresh Freesia on a strip of Basic White Cardstock, and the strip trimmed to allow it to be inserted into the remaining Bubble Bath envelope. That envelope was adhered underneath the sentiment strip, using Stampin' dimensionals.

Here's this month's colour combination:

And here's the project it inspired:

The bold text that makes up the images in the Happy Little Things Photopolymer Stamp Set are perfect for creating a simple but effective background using repeat stamping.
 

The "celebrate" outline stamp from the Happy Little Things Photopolymer Stamp Set was stamped diagonally to cover a Berry Burst Cardstock layer in a regular pattern using Berry Burst Classic Stampin' ink for a tone-on-tone effect. The solid "celebrate" stamp was also stamped in Berry Burst on a Basic White Cardstock strip. The ticket-style banner die from the coordinating Happy Little Things Dies was used to cut a banner from Bubble Bath Cardstock, which was stamped with "the little things" using Berry Burst ink. A strip of Pool Party Cardstock was embossing using the crosshatch pattern folder from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders. The stamped Bubble Bath banner was adhered to the bottom right side of the stamped Basic White cardstock strip, and that element attached to the embossed Pool Party strip using Stampin' dimensionals. That finished piece was adhered to the stamped Berry Burst layer, and the completed panel adhered to a folded Bubble Bath card base.

And here's the project it inspired:

Bright colours and fun images of hot air balloons combine to create this cheerful card that's perfect to send to a friend.
 

A Balmy Blue Cardstock layer was stamped with the Rays of Light Cling Stamp using VersaMark™ Ink to create a tone-on-tone watermark effect background. The largest hot air balloon image from the Hot Air Balloon Photopolymer Stamp Set was stamped on Basic White Cardstock using Fresh Freesia Classic Stampin' Ink, and cut out using the coordinating die from the Hot Air Balloon Dies. The smaller basket image was also stamped on Basic White using Pebbled Path ink, die cut, and adhered to the bottom of the balloon. The decorative section to fill the center of the balloon was die cut from Smoky Slate Cardstock, and adhered to the balloon. The sentiment, also from the Hot Air Balloon set, was stamped on a strip of Basic White card using Pebbled Path ink, and adhered to the balloon element using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

The whole balloon element was added to the stamped Balmy Blue cardstock layer using Stampin' dimensionals. Clouds were cut from Basic White using the two dies in the Hot Air Balloon set, and adhered to the Balmy Blue layer by slotting them underneath the raised balloon element. Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots in Bubble Bath were added as the final embellishments, and the whole decorated panel adhered to a Basic White folded card base.
